PFAS removal from drinking water

Lewatit® TP 108 DW is an advanced, highly selective ion exchange resin engineered for the efficient removal of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. Optimized for stringent regulatory compliance, this technology offers greater selectivity, extended service life, and significant reductions in operating costs compared to activated carbon or reverse osmosis, enabling water purification to single-digit parts-per-trillion levels. 

LANXESS helps utilities worldwide meet and exceed current and future PFAS regulations to ensure compliant, safe, and sustainable drinking water. With decades of experience in ion exchange, we leverage both innovative products and technical expertise to guide customers in the design, operation, and optimization of PFAS treatment systems.

Our PFAS-selective ion exchange resin Lewatit® TP 108 DW provides high selectivity and efficiency across the full PFAS spectrum, including ultrashort-chain compounds. In contrast to conventional adsorbents, Lewatit® reliably reduces PFAS concentrations to the single-digit parts per trillion levels, securing compliance with the strictest global standards.

 

LANXESS experts support customers with resin selection, system design, and performance modeling, ensuring cost-effective and sustainable PFAS removal solutions.


Cost calculation 

Exemplary cost calculation for PFHpA removal using Lewatit® TP 108 DW, a competitor ion exchange resin, and activated carbon. The case is calculated for a traditionally sized PFAS removal plant in Australia, with an operation time of five years. Equipment costs (orange), cost of filter medium (black), and disposal costs (red) are considered.
